Chapter Eighty-Four: A Transaction

Guo Song picked a very good riding bow for Shi Tong, Shi Tong followed Liang Wu to practice riding and archery with great interest, but Guo Song came to the official office alone, just now, Liang Yundao sent someone to find Guo Song and asked him to have time to go to the official office.

Liang Yundao official appointed the Lingzhou Thorn History Mansion Fa Cao to participate in the military, and it is also the Shuofang Jiedu Mansion Fa Cao to join the army, which belongs to two brands and a set of teams, which is also the reason why Shuofang Jiedu envoys generally serve as Lingzhou Thorn Historians at the same time.

Soon, a soldier brought Guo Song to Liang Yundao's official room, "Liang joins the army, Guo Gongzi is here!" ”

Guo Song is now quite famous in Lingzhou, and even ordinary soldiers know that he is a foreign aid from Liangjiabao.

Liang Yundao greeted him with a smile, "Actually, it's not me looking for you, but the Jiedu envoy looking for you, have you seen him?" ”

Guo Song nodded, "I've dealt with it once." ”

Liang Yundao suddenly, "No wonder, the Jiedu envoy values you very much, I talked to him today about what you don't want to do, and the Jiedu envoy wants to talk to you, looking at his attitude, it seems that he will not force you." ”

"Do you want to go now?"

"That's right! You come with me. ”

Liang Yundao led Song to a small courtyard and knocked on the door, "Duan Envoyjun, Guo Song is here!" ”

"Invite him in!" Duan Xiushi's voice came from the room.

Liang Yundao waved his hand, "You go in!" When you're done, you might as well come and sit in my official room. ”

Liang Yundao left first, Guo Song pushed the door into Duan Xiushi's official room, the official room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, very spacious, outside is the conference hall, with eight carved screen couches and coffee tables, the inside is the office place, separated by a large screen in the middle.

Guo Song bypassed the screen and saw Duan Xiushi sitting at a large table with a flying pen writing something, the table was full of various documents and scrolls, and behind him was a museum shelf, with all kinds of exquisite tea sets and antiques.

Guo Song hurriedly saluted, "Xiaomin Guo Song see the festival envoy!" ”

"Guo Gongzi, we meet again, please sit down!"

"Thank you!"

Guo Song sat down cross-legged on the couch next to him, which was not polite, because the other party was also sitting on a very low couch, if you didn't sit, but stood aside, it would look condescending, but a little rude, so after sitting down, the two were level with each other.

A tea boy came in and served Guo Song a cup of sencha.

Duan Xiushi said with a smile: "I heard a report from the army yesterday that someone shot and killed twenty Xue Yantuo horsemen outside the city, it should be you!" ”

Guo Song nodded, "It's the villain!" ”

Duan Xiushi said slowly: "Your archery skills are very powerful, I knew it last time you shot a branch, it's a pity that such a skill doesn't serve the country, in fact, I have always wanted to appoint you as a flag officer, not a mere general, what do you think?" ”

The flag officer is Duan Xiushi's former captain, one of the generals of the pro-soldiers, but the flag officer appointed by Duan Xiushi is still a kind of general who does not have the establishment of the imperial court, and it is of the nature of a staff member, and the attraction is still relatively weak.

Of course, Guo Song couldn't agree, he bowed slightly and said: "Xiaomin was a mountain Taoist priest before, he is used to living freely and freely, and he is unwilling to be bound by anything, please forgive me." ”

"Your literary talent and calligraphy seem to be very good, I also witnessed your calligraphy in Liang Senjun, and it is quite a demeanor, which makes me ashamed."

"If you win the award, you just can write a few words, and you can't get on the stage."

Duan Xiushi smiled slightly, "It's a good thing for young people to be modest, but being too modest will give people a feeling of lack of confidence. ”

Guo Song was silent, Duan Xiushi changed the topic, and asked again: "Last time, you provided key information, so that we found out that the party and Xue Yantuo were colluding, and it is very likely that the party people will also send troops to attack Lingzhou, do you have any good countermeasures for this." ”

"I'm just a small citizen, how dare I talk about military affairs."

"Well, if you say it, I will listen to it."

"Then the little people will be ugly."

Duan Xiushi smiled and nodded, "I'll listen to you!" ”

Guo Song pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, the party members are different from the Xue Yantuo people, they dare not plunder the population and wealth of the Tang Dynasty as unscrupulously as the Xue Yantuo people, they are indeed very eager for the treasure land of Lingzhou, but they can only hold it in their hearts and dare not show it, after all, they are attached to the Tang Dynasty, once they openly send troops to rob Lingzhou, it will be a rebellion, and the imperial court will definitely send heavy troops to suppress it." ”

"Do you mean to say that the party members only secretly support Xue Yantuo and dare not openly send troops to cooperate?"

"The envoy should know better than me that Datang pays attention to strength, and with the current strength of the party members, do they still have the qualifications to cede land and stand on their own?"

"You're right, the party members are a little strong, but they are far from the extent of cutting land and building a country, once the imperial court sends troops, it is easy to suppress them, their ambitions are actually known by the imperial court for a long time, but they just ignore them."

"Since the Jiedu envoy knows, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that they will send troops to pretend to be Xue Yantuo's army and participate in the attack on Lingzhou City, and when the Xue Yantuo people have plundered the population and wealth, they will pretend to send troops to resist the Xue Yantuo people, so that Lingzhou will be occupied."

"It's possible, but it's easy to crack their adventure."

Duan Xiushi smiled: "Tell me, how to crack it?" ”

Guo Song said unhurriedly: "If you can send a thousand troops to Xiazhou, the party people will not dare to act rashly, if the upper echelons of the party send troops to participate in the attack on Lingzhou, won't they worry about the safety of themselves and their families?" These 1,000 troops are like bones stuck in the throats of party members, they can't swallow and swallow, they can't spit out, they can only obediently hold their troops still. ”

Duan Xiushi paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, it was really like this, a very simple measure cracked the adventure of the party members, unless they openly betrayed the Tang Dynasty, otherwise under the surveillance of the Tang Army, they really did not dare to act rashly.

This young man is so powerful, he sees the problem so thoroughly, and he solves one of his major heart problems by chatting a few words.

Duan Xiushi said happily: "You said it very well, Guo Song, why don't we make a deal!" I don't force you to be the Shuofang military general, as long as you promise to do one thing for the Shuofang army. ”

Guo Song said lightly: "Since it is a transaction, where are my benefits?" ”

Duan Xiushi took a paper roll from the table, handed it to Guo Song, and said with a smile: "I only received it yesterday, you can see it!" ”

Guo Song opened the scroll of paper and was immediately startled, it turned out to be a first-class wanted warrant for his arrest, "Kongtong Mountain evil way Guo Song, deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, burned down the treasure hall, killed the royal seal real person, heinous and unforgivable, and issued a special notice to all the state capitals in the world to be wanted, and those who captured the official mansion will be rewarded with 3,000 yuan, and those who are captured by the official government will be rewarded with 500 yuan, and the payment is the Yuanzhou Assassin Mansion." ’

The portrait painted above is thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, fierce and vicious, is this himself?

"It's still a first-class wanted warrant, Guo Song, did you commit all these crimes?" Duan Xiushi asked coldly.

Guo Song shook his head, "It's completely nonsense, when did I deceive my teacher and destroy my ancestors?" As for burning down the Treasure Hall and killing the real people of the Imperial Seal, they deserved it. ”

"You haven't realized the seriousness of the problem, since the wanted warrant from Yuanzhou has been sent to Lingzhou, it means that it has been filed with the Criminal Department, and it can be arrested across the state, unless you change your name and surname, stay away from Longyou, and go to Jiangnan or Lingnan to live silently for a lifetime, otherwise you can't escape the world's wanted warrant, tell you so! First-class wanted warrants are only available to heinous death row inmates. ”

After a moment of silence, Guo Song asked, "This is the bargaining chip of the transaction?" ”

Duan Xiushi nodded, "You do one thing for Shuo Fangjun, I'll help you remove this wanted warrant, how about it?" ”

Guo Song pondered again and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"It's not possible to say yet, but it's certainly not easy, and it's dangerous, it's just a deal, you can say yes or no."

Guo Song suddenly asked, "The little heavenly bow was given to me by the envoy!" ”

Duan Xiushi was stunned, "How did you guess?" ”

Guo Song sighed softly and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, except for the envoy, I really can't think of anyone else?" ”

Duan Xiushi smiled slightly, "It's really me who sent you, I'm afraid you won't accept it, so I used a tactful method, how about it, do you still like it?" ”

"I like it very much, and thank you for the gift of the bow."

"You're welcome, I'm more concerned about this deal now, do you say yes or not?"

Guo Song smiled bitterly in his heart, could he not agree? If he didn't agree, Duan Xiushi could arrest him immediately.

He was silent for a long time, then got up and said, "I promised, I am willing to do one thing for Shuo Fangjun, and I hope that the envoy will revoke the wanted warrant for me as soon as possible." ”

Duan Xiushi looked at Guo Song and said lightly: "I know you are suspicious, but I, Duan Xiushi, am also a promise, and when you go to the capital, I guarantee that this wanted warrant will be gone." ”
